ECPR Summer School - Keele University

The Environmental Politics and Policy Summer School gives 20 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working in the field of environmental politics an excellent opportunity to exchange teaching and research ideas with colleagues from other universities and research institutes. This will be the sixth occasion that the ECPR's Environmental Politics Standing Group has run a Summer School. The previous Summer Schools were at Keele in 2001, Lulea in 2002, and Keele in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

Ten taught sessions over two weeks will be led by experts from European universities. Confirmed speakers to date include: Andrew Dobson, Marcel Wissenburg, John Vogler, Andrew Jordan, Hayley Stephenson, and Christopher Bailey.

Teaching will be organised across five themes:

  • Green political theory
  • International relations of the environment
  • Environment and global political economy
  • Green movements and parties
  • Public policy and the environment

There will also be student papers, social events, and opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside near Keele.

Dates: 17-28 June, 2013 (delegates must arrive on Sunday 16th June).

Cost is £480 for students from ECPR member institutions and £530.00 for non members. This includes the delegate fee and 11 nights’ en-suite bed and breakfast/ self-catering accommodation on the campus.

Our webpages will provide further details on the programme and deadlines for application in March 2013.
